Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells can be grown relatively easily in culture.

Answer:

Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell whereas adult stem cells can only become specific cells according to their cell niche.

Explanation:

The major difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells is their different abilities in the type and number of cell types they can be differentiated into.

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent so they can differentiate into any type of cell.

Adult stem cells can undergo a normal process to differentiate into specialized cells of the tissue wherein they are present.

Thus, Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell whereas adult stem cells can only become specific cells according to their cell niche.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Use the CAM pathway

Explanation:

Xerophytes are plants that have adapted to arid climates. They have evolutionary developed adaptations to reduce the rate of transpiration so as to conserve water.
Among the adaptations include; thick cuticle, small, thick leaves, reducing the surface area relative to the volume of the leaf, etc.
Additionally, they use CAM pathway as an alternative photosynthetic pathway to minimize water loss.
